Koine New Tests as to Juror Fitness.
A noteworthy labor case is on trial
in the courts of Chicago, in which
those summoned as jurors are sul
jected to an entirely new test. Tire
case is a criminal action brought by
the state against a number of union
brass moulders accused of conspiring
to injure non-union men who under
took to till the places of strikers in
Chicago foundries some time ago. A
number of important ipiestions as to
the rights of men are involved, and
prospective jurors are required to
answer the following questions satis
factorily before they are accepted:
"Do you le!ieve that 'all men are by
nature free and indeendent. and have
certain inherent and inalienable
rights among these are. life. Iilerty
and the pursuit of happiness. and
that no K"rson shall be deprived of
Jife. liberty or property without due
process of law?"
'"Do v on believe that labor is pro
perty mid the laborer has the same
right to sell hiss labor as any other
property owner'.'"
"Have you any prejudice or feeling
against the man who takes the place
of a striker and works for a company
when the men are out tin a strike?"
"Do you believe lhat in litis country
every owner of property may work it
as he will, by whom he pleases, at
such wages and iivu such terms as
he can make: and that, every laborer
mav work or not as he sees tit. for
whom and at such wages as he
pleases, and that neither can
dictate to ihe other how he shall use
his own. whether of property, t-iuie
or skill?"
This is said to be the first time ju
rors have been put to such a test, but
the propriety of the questions in the
case on trial will le generally recog
nized. The principles involved in the
interrogatories are important factors
in such a case. Intelligent applica
tion of individual rights is necessary
to qualify one to sit in judgment oh
the facts at issue.
The West Outstripping the lOast.
There are multiplying evidences
that industrial energy is greater now
in Ihe middle west than it is in the
east. New York has long been Ihe in
dustrial center of Ihe I'nittvl States.
Of the recent evidences noted the la
test is the fact that in the year W2
there was more work of construction
iu Chicago than there was in New
York. -.u
Statistics compiled by the Construc
tion News, a carefully edited indus
trial puin-r of Chicago, shows that in
l!l)i only seven out of twenty cities
show a loss for the year. The most
startling- decrease is in New York,
while Chicago's increase is large. In
New York. including the boroughs of
Manhattan and the lironx. permits

DAILY SHORT STORY
A Touch of Russia
Copyright, 1902. by C. B. Lewis.
Soon after reaching St. Petersburg
on my globe circling trip I found an
American who had just arrived that
morning, a man from Stamford, Conn.,
named Joshua II. P.idwell. He was the
Inventor of the wire clothesline and,
having patented it in Kuglaud, France,
Germany and other foreign countries,
had arrived in Russia wii-t the same
object in view, lie was a thorough
Yankee from top to bottom.
I had scarcely shaken hands with
him when he informed me that the po
lice already had a spy on his trnck
and added:
"I'm here on straight business, I
am. I'm here to patent and sell the
right to manufacture the only galvan
ized wire clothesline ever invented. If
the police let me alone, I shan't hurt
anybody, but if they tackle tne they'll
wake up a barnful of bumblebees."
It was Mr. Bid well's Intentions, aft
er knocking about for two or three
days, to visit the American legation
and solicit advice on how to proceed to
get his patent. We set out to St. Pe
tersburg In company. It was the cause
of our coming to grief. The spy who
had been following him appeared to be
more alert than before; but. fearing
that Bidwell would do something rash,
I did not mention the fact of our lieing
dogged. He did not catch on until the
afternoon of the second day. We then
were knocking about on foot and were
in the national aquarium when he
walked straight tip to the spy, tapped,
him on the shoulder and said:
"Look here. Mister Man, have you
any business to transact with us':'
He spoke in English, and the Rus
sian could not understand a word of it.
He evidently got the drift of things,
however, and seemed greatly surprised
and annoyed at being addressed Iu that
offhand fashion.
We went out, turned Into Warsaw
place and entered a wineshop. Bidwell
presently went to the door to see if the
spy was around and almost bumped
into him.
"Now, then, you mean looking sou of
a gun, but this Is a little too steep!" ex
claimed the Yankee. "I gave you fair
warning, and now"
He seized the fellow by the shoulders
and slammed him about In a terrific
manner, hut it wasn't more than a
minute before five or six policemen
were at hand ami both of us were un
der arrest and leing hurried away.
We were first taken to a police sta
tion about four blocks distant. There
we were searched, stripped of every
article that our clothing might be over
hauled aud held for about an hour. We
were not questioned at all. and if the
official in charge understood anything
we said he did not betray the fact. Bid
well was so provoked by the situation
that he fired a. whole broadside of Con
necticut oratory into the official, ending
up by threatening a suit for $100,000
damages, but he might as well have
saved his breath, liy and by we were
taken to headquarters under a strong
pscort and there ushered into the pres
ence of the chief of police. We were
taken iu singly. My turn came first.
The chief consul led a memorandum
and began:
"You arrived iu St. Petersburg on the
9th. Yon claimed to be an American
tourist. You received a letter from Par
is on the 10th and one from Hamburg
on the 11th. Y'ou have spoken disre
spectfully of the police to the proprie
tor of the Park hotel. You were very
disrespectful toward the officer who
was ordered to follow you about. lo
you wish to leave St. Petersburg by the
evening train?"
I replied that I had come to visit the
city as a tourist and had planned to re
main for at least a mouth.
The chief touched a bell, aud two
police officers appeared. Out of my own
money they bought me a ticket for the
German frontier, and both rode with
me for the first "loo miles.
What happened to Bidwell I. learned
long afterward from his owu mouth
and through the American press. He
thought It beneath the dignity of a free
born American citizen to bend the knee
to the autocrat of St. Petersburg. The
charge against him was more serious.
His baggage at the hotel had been
overhauled, and his samples of wire
clotheslines were at once "spotted" as
a menace against the peace of the
czar. He also had laid violent hands
ou the sacred body of a police spy, and
that proved him a desperate man If
not a conspirator. He was defiant
when put on examination, and the up
shot was that he was taktu 1o tho
fortress of St. Peter to be held for
further investigation. That simply
meant to be held at the pleasure of
the chief of police. No papers were
ever served ou him nor was he ever
taken into court. He was put Into a
dark, damp cell, confined to prison fare
nnd treated like a criminal. It was
three months before he saw any other
face than the jailer's. Then a police
official came to ask him If he would
Igree to leave ltussia and never return
fti case of release.
"Not by a long shot!" was his ready
reply. "For every month you hold me
in here I'll demand $"i0,000 extra, and
if Uncle Sam doesn't back my lawsuit
every Bidwell In Connecticut will move
out of the country."
At the end of seven mouths he was
set at liberty. He started for the
American ! gation, but was intercepted
and taken to the depot and forced to
enter a train. Two officers accompa
nied him to the frontier, and he re
ceived such a solemn warning against
attempting to recross the line that he
never tried it. He filed a claim on
rettbLag the Uaited States, but it was
pemWkoled. a.nd heard of no more.

HEALTH IS WEALTH.

(iOOl) HEALTH is the soil from

self-consciousness, cheerfulness, am

youth in his heart, pure blood in his
veins and cheerfulness, ambition, en

up.is worth more to himself, his fam

all his wealth. Man enters the world'
